of them to other Cabinets. He is now issuing an illustrated catalogue of 150 

 pages or more, which gives some idea of the extent of his collections. His 

 casts have already reached a number of scientific cabinets in the country, 

 among them those of Yale, Amherst, Cambridge, Vassar College, Albany, etc. ; 

 and whereever they have gone they are admired for their excellance and per- 

 fection of finish. We would recommend to Colleges, Academies, and other 

 institutions where science is taught in the land, to supply themselves, as far 

 as they are able, with these casts. They enable the instructor to exhibit to 

 students specimens of the rare fossil skeletons and other species from the rocks, 

 many of which are seldom or never found in American collections. By means 

 of them, series representing the principal types of different Families (as that 

 of Trilobites, or of Ammonites, etc.) may be made complete or nearly so. The 

 casts are light and strong, and thus are well-fitted for class purposes. They 

 have been copied from the best specimens to be found in any collections, and 

 are colored to correspond with the originals. They give, at comparatively small 

 expense, wonderful effectiveness to a cabinet as a means of instruction. A gift 

 of a collection of Mr. Ward's casts from any patron of learning to an academy 

 or college would render great service to the instructor, the pupils, and the 

 institution.
